2008 F450-****

2008 F450 with 130,000 miles and not a scratch-well maintained and complete piece of ****! No one should incur $10-$30k worth of repairs after paying $45k for the truck! 130,000 miles is a NEW diesel engine!

6.4 has a lot of problems and the 08 even moreso.

the new engine will be a rebuild and not immune to repeat problems.

I really hope you didn't just buy it for 45k as that's way overpriced. I just sold off my old basket case 2008 F450 in June it was a white XLT and very clean also with about 130k. It was facing needing injectors and rocker arms and possibly a cam. It was a spare truck so I traded it in on a new truck. Hopefully you didn't end up with it.

Wow! That truck should have been around $10k (maybe).

In 2015 I bought a 2010 f-450 DRW lariat that had 84k miles for the price of $39k.

I dumped 11k into over the following 3 years to make it more reliable.

then I traded it in and got $25.500 for it which was exactly book value.


Any 6.4 selling for 10k probally does not run and is just a parts truck.

If you need to pay $10k to $30k in repairs after you buy it, then $10k for the initial purchase is not unreasonable.
